I don't recall any of the people named claiming to be "expert" in
the subject.
Apparently you and your group are positioning yourselves as
"expert" because
you seem to always know what will work and what won't. The rest of us are just
tossing out ideas ... something you and yours seem not to have many of.

Well, duuuuuuuh!!!

Well, duuuuuuuh!!!

BTW ... who is "Otto"? I don't recall anyone of that name posting here.

ENJOY!!!
